I had the pleasure of hanging out with Ben at the Ancestral Health Symposium a few weeks back. While it might seem that elite endurance training and the ancestral approach to nutrition/lifestyle are contradictory, I’m impressed and encouraged by Ben’s ability to bridge the gap.

See? Eating real food helps everyone. Screw the gu.

So not only can you achieve great health by eating according to evolutionary / ancestral principles, but Ben is a living, breathing example of how you can also perform and compete at the elite level. Let’s hope this is the beginning of a trend.

Listen up: the man knows his stuff. In the show, Ben and I cover:

Supplementation tips for performance and health

How many carbs you REALLY should be eating

Why you might want to consider “cheap” creatine monohydrate

How to achieve elite endurance performance on a low-carb diet

The right way to build muscle as a hard-gainer

Why grains and seeds may not be as unhealthy as the Paleo zealots would have you believe

Why you should avoid sunscreen

How to make sure you don’t get manboobs (or, more affectionately, “moobs”)

Sweet. Here’s the show.
